Questions Pre Flower

Hello, I will post pics very soon but I currently have five plants that have been vegging about ten weeks. My setup for veg was four 4' florescent bulbs, two warm two cool, flood/drain hydro system using advanced nutrients. Room wrapped in mylar, intake and squirrel cage fan circulating air.Standard 18/6 cycle, everything on timers.

The plants are almost three feet tall, one is over :) I have topped (one plant has five heads mwahhaha) trimmed the bottoms off and the plants have maxed in size for the pots I have them sitting in I am pretty sure...I will be moving them into monster pots once change the light cycle. Does vegging them too long hurt your bud yield??

I am going to be putting them under a 400w HPS (sorry i have zero faith in the yields of LED) 12/12 cycle and I was wondering how much bigger they are going to get?....I hope not too much because they are fucking huge man really bushy! Almost as wide as it is tall its crazy falling over and shit I gotta tie them up! Also I was wondering how much nug i will be getting off of them... Ill post pics soon, the strain is from a friend whos been growing it for about seven years and the buds are really dank smelly and full of crystals, sticks to the bag its in :) He calls it "money maker".

A recent run I vegged until the tallest plant was 21 inches and the shortest was 18 inches. All but one ended up 5 feet tall or slightly over and the other ended up at something over 6 feet but it was sort of hard to tell because I ran out of room/height and had to sort of supercrop the top a few times and ended up with this curly humpy twisted turned crooked top of the plant and cola. So I don’t know what it would have been straightened out but it was just about 6 feet tall when I started bending and twisting etc.

You may have different results but that gives you some idea of how much plants can and will jump when put into flower.

yea this happened to me i couldnt move the light up anymore. they still grow A LOT in the flowering phase (granted everything is optimal)

and i like the curly tops, i think it looks cool like bonzai trees

Okay, my tallest is 36 inches, three are about thirty and one is the runt at like 16...how much nugs (i know it varies from strain to strain) will I be getting approximately when its all said and done??...hydro system 400w HPS light. I am hoping a lot because these plants are beasts compared to most of the other people's pics I see! I would think if four of those plants got to be five or six feet tall that is a SHITLOAD and i might need to carbon filter up to rid the smell of that much dank :) im excited
